The stupid girl in the refreshment room failed to pull the cork out of the bottle, and refused to let me help her.

She took a corkscrew, and used it crookedly.

I lost all patience, and snatched the bottle out of her hand.

Just as I drew the cork, the bell rang on the platform.

I only waited to pour the soda-water into a glass--but the train was moving as I left the refreshment room.
